Hellooooo , you sparkly pearl!

First, welcome to all of our new pearls who found me through the Soft White Underbelly interview.  It is such a gift to have you part of the community.  Please know that I read every e-mail with questions and suggestions so please let me know how I can best support you.

And now, the pearl of wisdom for today…

Imagine an office cubicle constructed of walls that are a depressing shade of beige that somehow manages to look both dirty and clean at the same time.  The overhead “storage” consists of a single, sagging shelf that looks like it’s about to give up on life at any moment, held together by what can only be described as pure willpower holding the one book, covered with dust, I will never read about the corporate culture I so desperately needed to escape.

To top it all off, the cubicle is accessorized with a flickering fluorescent light that highlights, at just the right time to make my heart hurt, the never-ending e-mails and spreadsheets.  It’s the kind of space that makes you question all of your life choices, one depressing day at a time.  It is no wonder I dreamed of a sabbatical every single day…

It started with taking the summer to work less than the 60+ hour weeks I was used to and LIVE MORE.  I learned to sail, watched as many sunrises as I could over Lake Michigan, visited the south of France, and more.  I realized that everything on the LIVE MORE list started with the letter “S”.  It was the Summer of S and is now my favorite letter.  (Do you have a favorite letter?)

Out of desperation and despair, I then stumbled on to my path of transformation.  My life changed in dramatic ways after years of personal growth with some of the world’s greatest teachers. 

• I reclaimed my voice. 
• I gave myself permission to dream beyond the imaginable…and then lived it like cycling across South Africa! 
• I left limiting beliefs by the way side so I could pave my own path.

This life changing work led me to realize I needed to live the Life of S.  I moved to San Diego, started shucking, studied Spiritual Psychology, got Shuckee (my camper van), play in the sand, ski for months every winter, and more.

The one thing that is missing in my Life of S?

My desire for a sabbatical. 

I don’t need to escape the doldrums of society’s expectations.  I don’t need a special respite to fill my soul because I do it on the daily.  I don’t need to hide in my shell to protect me from the suffering I once inflicted upon myself.  I don’t need a break from life anymore because I am living the life that is the best for me!  

This can be true for you too (and if it already is, kudos to you!!!). 

It takes courage.  It takes commitment.  It takes hard work.  It takes overcoming fears.  It takes inspired action.  It takes letting go of the good for the SHUCKTACULAR!

If any of this resonates for you, let’s talk. Let’s sit together for a 1:1 session to lay out your LIVE MORE life and an actionable plan to get there.
